Tom Latham c & b S Shillingford8320610040.29

70.2

S Shillingford to Latham, out Caught&Bowled!! Finally a wicket West Indies were desperately looking for, this was well tossed up on the pads, Latham was looking to whip it through the leg side, but closed the bat face early and the ball went off the leading edge towards the bowler, who accepts a simple catch gleefully, a soft dismissal in the end for Latham, who played a solid innings. Latham c and b S Shillingford 83(206) [4s-10]

Peter Fulton c Ramdin b Jerome Taylor119005.26

8.1

Jerome Taylor to Fulton, out Caught by Ramdin!! Fulton has nicked off. Taylor draws first blood. This was a fine ball, on a good length and angling in on off, Fulton had to play at that, he is squared up a touch as he pokes at it limply, the ball elicits the outside edge, Ramdin gobbles it up while Taylor exults. Fulton c Ramdin b Jerome Taylor 1(19)

Kane Williamson b S Benn11329812037.92

103.3

Benn to Williamson, out Bowled!! Williamson's vigil comes to an end. Ironically, his judgement, which has been impeccable until now, has let him down. Was that a case of a slip in concentration? This was the arm ball from Benn, skids on, Williamson shoulders arms, allowing a clean pathway for the ball to thunk into the off-stump. Williamson b Benn 113(298) [4s-12]

Ross Taylor c K Edwards b S Shillingford551278043.31

110.2

S Shillingford to Ross Taylor, out Caught by K Edwards!! That is a pretty tame dismissal. This was tossed up,,dipping in late, Taylor does not get hold of the flick and chips it to Edwards at mid-wicket, who pouches it safely. The two set batsman are back in the hut. Can West Indies build on this? Ross Taylor c K Edwards b S Shillingford 55(127) [4s-8]

Brendon McCullum (captain)c Gayle b S Benn7171041.18

111.3

Benn to Brendon McCullum, out Caught by Gayle!! What a corker from Benn. Two wickets in as many overs for West Indies. This one landed on off, gripped and bounced alarmingly, McCullum pokes at it, Ramdin cannot grab it, he deflects it off his body as the ball loops to Gayle at first slip. Brendon McCullum c Gayle b Benn 7(17) [4s-1]

James Neesham c Ramdin b S Benn10717111262.57

171.6

Benn to Neesham, out Caught by Ramdin!! Finally a fine innings has come to an end, a standing ovation from his team mates, it was the slider from over the wicket, Neesham was looking to run it down towards third man, but edged it back to the keeper, who took it on the 2nd attempt, but the umpire ruled him not out initially, but after a series of replays, it was evident that he had edged it and he reversed his decision in the end. Neesham c Ramdin b Benn 107(171) [4s-11 6s-2]

BJ Watling (wk)c K Powell b S Shillingford892047143.63

174.3

S Shillingford to Watling, out Caught by K Powell!! They have declared, it was turning in from outside off, Watling comes down the track and heaves at it half-heartedly, he couldn't get it off the meat of the bat and holes out to Powell at deep midwicket. Watling c K Powell b S Shillingford 89(204) [4s-7 6s-1]

West Indies 1st innings

BattingRB4s6sSR

Chris Gayle c B Watling b Southee6412511051.20

40.2

Southee to Gayle, out Caught by Watling!! Huge wicket for New Zealand after Lunch. No hundred for Gayle in his 100th Test. He goes to an ovation from the crowd. Southee troubled Gayle throughout the first session and he has got the reward for being patient. Keeps it on a length and in the area of uncertainity, Gayle pokes at it gingerly and the ball grazes the edge and settles into Watling's gloves. Gayle c Watling b Southee 64(125) [4s-11]

Kieran Powell lbw b M Craig28763036.84

27.1

Craig to K Powell, out Lbw!! Special moment for Craig as he takes his maiden Test wicket. This was tossed up on off, Powell prods at it lazily and is struck on the front pad pad, umpire Tucker raises his finger almost instantly. Powell walks up to Gayle, has a chat with his senior partner, shuts out the review and walks back to the hut. The ball would have carried on to hit middle. K Powell lbw b Craig 28(76) [4s-3]

Kirk Edwards c Ross Taylor b M Craig02000.00

27.3

Craig to K Edwards, out Caught by Ross Taylor!! Two wickets in three balls for Craig. Edwards is asked to wait as the umpires check for a possible no-ball. Craig is fine on that count as well. This was angled in on off, no much turn, Edwards, having caught on the crease, pokes at it, the healthy outside edge is snapped by Rosco, diving to his right at first slip. K Edwards c Ross Taylor b Craig 0(2)

Darren Bravo c & b Ish Sodhi06000.00

28.5

Ish Sodhi to Darren Bravo, out Caught&Bowled!! Nope, it's not a bump ball, it is a clean catch. NZ are all over WI like a rash. This was darted in very full on middle and off, Bravo jams his bat down and lobs it back to the bowler, who accepts the catch with glee. The umpires check for a no-ball again but Sodhi has a fair part of his heel behind the guideline. Darren Bravo c and b Ish Sodhi 0(6)

Shivnarine Chanderpaul not out8413813060.87

Marlon Samuels lbw b Southee02000.00

40.4

Southee to Samuels, out Lbw!! Two in the over! West Indies are falling apart here. Samuels had a chat with Chanders whether to review it, the senior partner thinks it was out and they don't use the review. A good length delivery that nips back in sharply, Samuels stays rooted to the crease and is struck on the knee roll, that looked dead and even umpire Illingworth thought so. There was some reverse swing on that occasion. Samuels lbw b Southee 0(2)

Denesh Ramdin (captain & wk)c B Watling b Southee39776050.65

62.4

Southee to Ramdin, out Caught by Watling!! A very tame dismissal this. The slower delivery on the hips, Ramdin tries to nurdle it to the on-side, he gets an inside edge onto the thigh pad, the ball lobs back towards the keeper, Watling comes forward and takes a good catch. Ramdin is disappointed with himself as he hits the bat hard on the ground. Ramdin c Watling b Southee 39(77) [4s-6]

Kemar Roach c P Fulton b M Craig4101040.00

65.5

Craig to Roach, out Caught by Fulton!! Craig picks up his third of the innings. The umpire gave it out after seeing Roach making a slight movement towards the pavillion. This was very well bowled, flighted around off, gets it to turn and bounce, Roach stays rooted to the crease and gets an inside edge onto the pads, the ball lobs to Fulton at leg slip who takes a simple catch. Umpire Tucker was not giving it out but once he saw Roach walking towards the pavillion he raised his finger. Roach c Fulton b Craig 4(10) [4s-1]

Jerome Taylor c B McCullum b T Boult7121058.33

68.5

Boult to Jerome Taylor, out Caught by Brendon McCullum!! Superb catch by the New Zealand skipper. A length delivery just outside off, Taylor checks the drive, the ball lobs towards cover, Baz dives forward and takes it inches from the ground. Taylor stood his ground but walked back as soon as McCullum confirmed he had taken it cleanly. Jerome Taylor c Brendon McCullum b Boult 7(12) [4s-1]

Sulieman Benn b M Craig17213080.95

73.6

Craig to Benn, out Bowled!! The Kiwis were working on this for a long time and Benn finally succumbs to it. Craig teases hims with a well floated delivery, Benn's eyes lit up as he saw the flight on that, he cleared his front leg and went for the mighty heave, he misses and the ball hits the off-stump. Benn b Craig 17(21) [4s-3]

Shane Shillingford c B Watling b Southee14212166.67

81.2

Southee to S Shillingford, out Caught by Watling!! West Indies have been rolled over for 262. This was fullish and angled across, Shillingford feels for it away from his body and gets a faint nick through to the keeper. Southee has his arms aloft in delight. Spare a thought for Chanders, who battled hard. S Shillingford c Watling b Southee 14(21) [4s-2 6s-1]

New Zealand 2nd innings

BattingRB4s6sSR

Peter Fulton c Ramdin b Jerome Taylor02000.00

0.2

Jerome Taylor to Fulton, out Caught by Ramdin!! Another failure for Fulton, he is sent packing for nought. Taylor sets off on a celebratory run. This was mighty full and miles wide outside off, Fulton stretches out, aims to jam it out, the outside edge carries through to the keeper, who flies to his right and says yes this one's mine. Fulton c Ramdin b Jerome Taylor 0(2)

Tom Latham c Gayle b Roach731818040.33

59.2

Roach to Latham, out Caught by Gayle!! West Indies strike after the drinks break. This shot might be due to a message sent during the break to go after the bowling. It was full and pushed well wide of off-stump, Latham goes chasing after it, the ball flies off the outside edge to Gayle at first slip, who takes superb catch as Ramdin was diving in front of him. Latham c Gayle b Roach 73(181) [4s-8]

Kane Williamson b Roach230006.67

7.4

Roach to Williamson, out Bowled!! Williamson is out, shouldering arms for the second time in as many innings. Roach angles in on off from wide of the crease, Williamson, who was anticipating the away swinger lets it pass, the ball crashes onto the off-stump. Roach kisses the West Indies crest on his jersey and celebrates the scalp. Curtly Ambrose is pumped in the West Indian change room. Williamson b Roach 2(30)

Ish Sodhi lbw b Jerome Taylor4231017.39

14.3

Jerome Taylor to Ish Sodhi, out Lbw!! Taylor strikes with a top ball, the night-watchman does not last long. Taylor angles it in on off and gets it to straighten, Sodhi is squared up as he misses the defence, he is struck on the back pad in front of the off-stump. Umpire Tucker raises his finger to signal the doom of Sodhi. Ish Sodhi lbw b Jerome Taylor 4(23) [4s-1]

Ross Taylor lbw b Jerome Taylor01000.00

14.4

Jerome Taylor to Ross Taylor, out Lbw!! Taylor engineers a double strike. He is on a hat-trick. Angled in teasingly, Taylor is caught on the crease as he is rapped on the pad in front of off. That seemed quite plumb. Rosco should have been forward to that. Ross Taylor lbw b Jerome Taylor 0(1)

Brendon McCullum (captain)b S Shillingford17471036.17

29.3

S Shillingford to Brendon McCullum, out Bowled!! West Indies keep chipping away at the wickets. Baz is gone now. Gayle would heave a sigh of relief. This was a classic off-spinner, drawing the batsman forward and sneaking in through the gate to hit the off-stump. The umpires check for a possible no-ball, Shilly is fine on that count as well. Brendon McCullum b S Shillingford 17(47) [4s-1]

James Neesham c (sub)K Brathwaite b S Shillingford20450144.44

52.5

S Shillingford to Neesham, out Caught by (sub)Kraigg Brathwaite!! Against the run of play New Zealand have lost the first innings centurion. It was a wicket that was gifted away. Tossed up delivery on middle and leg, Neesham shimmies down the wicket, looks to heave it across the line but miscues it to long on, Brathwaite settled under it and took a good catch. Neesham c (sub)Kraigg Brathwaite b S Shillingford 20(45) [6s-1]

BJ Watling (wk)not out22312070.97

Tim Southee c DM Bravo b S Benn3300100.00

60.1

Benn to Southee, out Caught by Darren Bravo!! Southee perishes for the teams cause. He was sent out to go and get quick runs and he departs doing the same. This was flatter and outside off, Southee looks to pull it over long on, does not get hold of it, mistimes it towards long on, Bravo runs in and takes a good tumbling catch. Southee c Darren Bravo b Benn 3(3)

West Indies 2nd innings

BattingRB4s6sSR

Chris Gayle c B Watling b Southee10132076.92

3.3

Southee to Gayle, out Caught by Watling!! Southee is on a roll, he has got rid of the dangerous Gayle. No fairytale for Gayle in his 100th Test. Southee keeps it on a length and in the corridor of uncertainity, Gayle pokes at it rather lazily and edges it to the keeper, Watling dives forward and completes a good catch. West Indies are in deep trouble. Gayle c Watling b Southee 10(13) [4s-2]

Kieran Powell c Latham b Southee04000.00

1.4

Southee to K Powell, out Caught by Latham!! Just the perfect start for New Zealand. Excellent captaincy by Baz. He had placed a man at short mid-wicket and Powell hits it straight to him. Full and swinging back into the batsman, Powell does not move his feet as he flicks it in the air to Latham who takes a sharp catch as the ball was travelling. K Powell c Latham b Southee 0(4)

Kirk Edwards c Neesham b M Craig14262053.85

11.2

Craig to K Edwards, out Caught by Neesham!! Craig has struck in his first over, his impressive debut continues, this one turned in and bounced much more than expected, Edwards pushes forward to defend, but the ball grazes the edge of the bat and lobs to Neesham at leg slip, West Indies are staring at a big defeat here. K Edwards c Neesham b Craig 14(26) [4s-2]

Darren Bravo c B Watling b M Craig12421028.57

17.3

Craig to Darren Bravo, out Caught by Watling!! Craig is impressing with his every dismissal, this was a classic off-spinner's scalp, pitches it around off and gets it to turn and bounce, Bravo was lured forward, the ball grazes his gloves and Watling anticipates well to take a sharp catch. Darren Bravo c Watling b Craig 12(42) [4s-1]

Shivnarine Chanderpaul lbw b Ish Sodhi24354068.57

24.2

Ish Sodhi to Chanderpaul, out Lbw!! Sodhi has got the big fish, pitches it just outside off and gets it to turn in, Chanderpaul for some reason decides to not offer any shot, the ball strikes him on the knee roll, the impact was just in line with the stumps and the ball was going to clip the top of leg stump, the umpire had raised the finger initially and in the end it was an umpire's call, Chanderpaul might be slightly unlucky here. Chanderpaul lbw b Ish Sodhi 24(35) [4s-4]

Marlon Samuels c Latham b M Craig02000.00

17.5

Craig to Samuels, out Caught by Latham!! A pair for Samuels and West Indies are in tatters, again he gets the ball to grip the surface and it turns in with an extra bounce, Samuels was unsure about coming forward or backward, he finally pushes hard at it and the ball goes off the inside edge to Latham at short leg, who moves to his left and takes a one-handed blinder. Samuels c Latham b Craig 0(2)

Denesh Ramdin (captain & wk) b Ish Sodhi34626054.84

36.6

Ish Sodhi to Ramdin, out Bowled!! After toiling hard for a long time, an atrocious shot from the skipper, this one was tossed up generously on middle and leg, it turns away sharply, but Ramdin decides to heave it away across the line, misses it completely and the ball turns away to hit the middle and off stump. Ramdin b Ish Sodhi 34(62) [4s-6]

Kemar Roach c B Watling b M Craig19333057.58

35.5

Craig to Roach, out Caught by Watling!! Roach has walked, 4th one for Craig, this was a bad ball though, short and turning down the leg side, Roach shoulders arms, but the ball just grazes his gloves and Watling takes a simple catch moving to his left. Roach c Watling b Craig 19(33) [4s-3]

Jerome Taylor c B Watling b Ish Sodhi181312138.46

38.2

Ish Sodhi to Jerome Taylor, out Caught by Watling!! Third for Sodhi and this time he's got his man, again lures him with a flighted delivery which turns away, Taylor can't resist and skips down the track, he goes for an expansive drive, but wasn't to the pitch of the ball and edges it towards first slip, but the keeper quickly moves to his right and takes a good overhead catch. Jerome Taylor c Watling b Ish Sodhi 18(13) [4s-1 6s-2]

Sulieman Benn c B Watling b Williamson25274192.59

47.4

Williamson to Benn, out Caught by Watling!! It's all over finally and we are not going into the 5th day, pushed through quicker outside off, Benn shapes in to cut, that was too close to his body and only manages to edge it back to the keeper. Benn c Watling b Williamson 25(27) [4s-4 6s-1]
